 Fair Haveners claim that the old Ferry Path crossing will eventually be got rid of, and that the railroad commissioners will de- eide to close up that fragment of a street and have the crossing one block above, where 1t is much safer. At Ferry Path the cars are hid from view as one approaches the track, rendering the crossing dangerous one.

GOOD ONES
Just So With Connecticut Peaches
 Down This Way.


 Down This Way.
 Hale Brothers, of Glastonbury, planted 52 acres to peaches. About 1000 trees were set out-including all the approved varieties. Most of them lived and bore-for this year is very exceptional one in being favorable to peaches; but good many of course failed or died Such large breadth given exclu- sively to peaches is novelty in old Con- necticut and very welcome feature. If other years could only be like this, in favor ing the production of this delicious fruit, it would be the restoration of the best of the old-time Connecticut peach growing of fifty years ago. About four hundred baskets per day are brought to this market. The pro duet of the Hale orchards is estimated at six thousand baskets. These, selling at various prices from S1. 50 to $2.75 and even s per basket. are expected to be worth ten thou sand dollars to the growers. This is all in addition to their large strawberry, raspberry and other fruit business. But the most in teresting thing in connection with the whole enterprise is the fact that the peaches, many of them, are decidedly bigger and finer than those we get from Maryland and Delaware and they sell very readily.-Hartford Times.

saturday,s Market Weak ana Uneasy Prices Go Down Almost Steadily and Close at the Lowest Point.

NEW YORK, Sept. To- The opening to-day was unexpectedly weak in consequence apparently, of the refusal of the Lon don market to respond to the buoyancy which dis tinguished the closing yesterday. The fractional decline in Western Union increased the uneasiness and the indications of an impending strike in the coal regions were another depressing influence. The decline was not important however, and ral- ly led by Western Union and New England resulted in a full recovery of the early losses; but at the higher prices the market became dull and uninter- esting. It not until the publication of the bank statement that there was any pronounced ten- dency decline. but the large loss of money, in spite of heavy receipts of specie from abroad, caused surprise and the movement of prices was then steadily downward. The closing weak, at vir- tualy the lowest points, and in general the greater part of the gains made yesterday was lost Western Union ended at @ decline of 116 per cent. and the final losses of the coal stocks about per cent, while those of the Granger stocks were slightly smaller.

 PUSHING IT.
 The Meriden and Waterbury railroad Is pushing ahead fast. The work on the big glass works trestle has been delayed, owing to a carload of building materials which has not arrived from Florida. The deep cuts at the Consolidated crossings are nearly finished, and the Reform school grade will be complete in week. Two gangs ot men are dressing the grade along the Qulnn1plac river, the heavy embankment at Honey Fot brook is being rapidly made, and the mason- ry for the two spans of the iron bridge is be- ing built.
 AGRICULTURAL.
 The agricultural editor of the Hartford Courant says: "The first well grown and ripened Bartlett pear makes us wish to con- tribute something towards monument for the man who invented it, if only that would do him or such men as he was, now living, any good. But is it well for us, in flush fruit year, with foreign importations croWd- ing, and common roads worse than they were forty years ago, to haul wormy things to market? The hog is a social being and de- serves the esteem of fruit growers in many respects. In the time of plenty wormy pears may ss we'll go to the hogs"
 RICHER BY $4,00O.
 00Ork0 D0drOSI0y 10 6 4uCAJ AAaAl. Aoo9 year he purchased fifty acres of Sound bot tom in the bend off Seaside Park, near Black Rock lighthouse, from the State Fish conn mission, to be used as dumping ground for the mud taken up in his dredging operations about Bridgeport harbor. Only bottom re- garded as useless for oyster cultivation is de- signated for dumping, and, furthermore, care is taken that the dump shall be at safe dis tance from other oyster beds or grounds suit able for raising oysters, as the mud unloaded from the scows has fatal effect upon the young oysters. Upon reaching the dumping ground MT. BeardsIey threw out dredge and drew it up laden with the finest set of young oysters found about Bridgeport the present season. h. vestigation showed that wherever the scows had been dumped, which extends over | about half the extent of the entire area ot the ground, the set was equally good. The explanation is that the shells plentifully i scattered through the harbor mud washed to the surface and furnished just the mate rial required for the oyster spawn to become | attached to. Unless starfsh or some other form of diversity strikes the bed the young oysters will easily be worth 5000 or S4 ,00( | next year. He will buy another tract for i | dumping place.
